London Mums Blog

Weekend warrior

The weather in London has been rather glorious for the past few days, explaining my bloglessness as of late. I tried to get the laptop out into the garden for some sneaky posting in between gardening, setting up and sitting at the new patio furniture, grilling various meats and vegetables, drinking beer and playing with the Noble clan, but the glare on the screen was too great, making my eyes and back very sore from all the squinting and hunching. I gave up after five minutes and declared the weekend a mini break from t’internet. But not to fear, dear readers, for we are like the two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain and no matter how much I sometimes despise our love, find it lonely and inconvenient and shameful, deep down I know I can never quit you. So come here and give me a big wet one. Mmwah!

Chasing peas around the kitchen

I just read Potty's latest post and something in her Mother's Day wish list really resonated. Not to have to make decisions... You can have all the chocolates, flowers, cards, cups of tea made for you in the world - but for me THIS really stands out as the ultimate Mother's Day treat.

Not having to decide what to cook. Not having to cook it. Not having to pick out clothes. Not having to clean teeth, wipe faces, wipe bottoms, pick up endless clothes. Just one day of not having to do any of these things. Not even having to think about them.
